| Elena is just a problem child.... Meh..... This episode felt like a episode from your common shonen anime..... 3.5/5 |
 |
| Well, that's it. I lost all my faith in Bones. First DtB2 and now this. I would have accepted this if it didn't have Eureka Seven on title but they deemed to put that name on AO. There are so many problems I tried to ignore but now this is something impossible. Truth, Naru, Eureka... I pretty much doubt Bones... No, it is impossible for Bones to give a proper conclusion to this in 3 episodes unless they have a second season planned. Right now my score is 7 and if they continue like this it will go to 6. |
| Oh Elena, you poor poor child. I feel so sorry for you... yeah not, at least not that much. Dangerr said: I'll admit that part was hilarious.Freigeist said: Naru eating dinner with her family caught me off-guard and even if she's an "terrorist" now, or at least that's how she is referred by the media it's nice to see how much she seems to have matured when compared to the start of this series. Now these turn of events I wasn't expecting, though it makes sense; with Pied Piper and Japan now being anti-scub, and with the rest of the world going pro-Scub, it makes perfect sense that the Coalition would ally itself to Naru, and likewise, herself with them -- whatever it takes to help out the Scub Coral, as she would see it. As far as her newfound "maturity" goes, I think a lot of it has to do with her connection to the Scub Coral, as she's essentially taken in an amount of knowledge and insight that's far beyond what she normally could have accomplished by her age. ALSO: Elena's way too genre-savy to not realize that she's just been friend-zoned. Big time.  |
Raigerzero said: There is no way this series can be cleared up in a satisfactory manner within 3 more episodes. Either they really screwed up this sequel or there is a season 2 surprise, which as I believe Dangerr and others have mentioned should have/be announced earlier. There are questions, some large and some small, that I and the rest of us have been asking for a long time now that need time to answer - time which appears to not be present. The only reason I've found that Bones would be in the dark about an S2 at this point, as I read elsewhere, would be padding out the disc count (JP release), putting it at 9 discs a season rather than the 16-17 you'd normally see for an entire 48 episode series. So, basically, money. At this point, I'll take it, but it still frustrates me. |
| So it turns out that Elena read to many manga and got dissappointed when her origin wasn't as exotic as she expected? A bit lame after all the foreshadowing we've had from her character. So I guess now she'll help AO fight Truth or what? Why does Naru even keep reappearing in this show? No one cares for her character any more? Most people are just holding on for a Renton and Eureka appearance. |

| well it seems that, the plot is thickening so to speak I wonder tho if through piloting Maggie's old machine would she regain all of her memories, and does the latter happen for the rest of team Goldilocks? also what the deal with Naru now she is a freedom fighter by day, vilian by night> haha last: true shame that they are waiting this long on the intro for Renton:(( |
| "Romance can strengthen people, but it can also make them useless." Deishu Kaiki  |
| Another lame episode. |
| I really liked the BGM that was playing while Ao was talking sense into Elena, as it was like the nice ED. Still an overall average episode though. The plot is still full of questions that would seem rushed to cover in 3 episodes. Overall, this is still really bland in comparison to the original... Not sure it will get even close to the original like with DtBS2. |

| someone has flip a switch. |
| elena was on her period but her helmet is still dope though. It changes expressions! |

| I think I'm enjoying the train wreck that this is becoming. The speed at which the plot develops is so utterly abrupt that it's like watching a fffwd recap episode. All that is left for me to do is to fill in the missing pieces with my own imagination. Who knows? Maybe Bones intended for this to happen so that the audience gets to participate in their own story-telling. Now everyone has their own version of Eureka Seven AO!!! Personalisation ftw :))))) |
 |
| I'm getting confused with the timelines and dimensions, whatever, Elene is not from the prequel's world but she knows about the moon and Maggie saw images of Team Goldilock? What the hell is Naru doing, seriously, that just came out of nowhere? Elena's face was priceless when she realized that Ao didn't confess and his words were so cheesy, I couldn't stop laughing. |
| I still remember the planet with the heart on it that was mentioned by Elena. Good memories from the original Eureka Seven ^.^ Also, that instrumental version of Iolite that was played the last one minute or so was really soothing. Do want. Naru suddenly having breakfast together with her family was pretty random. What happened to her from being one of the key characters to a character who doesn't seem so important anymore? |

It seemed random, but it was really telling of her place in the world at the moment; she's dropped the terrorist act with Truth, and is now working with the Coalition to proliferate the Scub Coral; the exact opposite of what GB and Japan are trying to do with the Secrets. It also tells us that she hasn't completely abandoned her humanity, eating breakfast and congregating along side her family. |
DangerMouseDM said: Maybe something hAppened when she was in the original series timeline and she couldn't remember her life in the timeline she was born in. Sounds reasonable right?Zhou said: I'm getting confused with the timelines and dimensions, whatever, Elene is not from the prequel's world but she knows about the moon and Maggie saw images of Team Goldilock? According to Eureka, it sounds like she can see the relations of the timelines while traveling between them. Based on that, Elena very likely saw the moon with Renton and Eureka's names on it (and the E7 time) when Eureka took her between the timelines to save her, specifically while they were in between the two. Though I still think there could potentially still be more to Elena (still confused/wondering a bit about the hair color myself), but only if we're not ending in 3 eps. Hope that helps. :) |
Solaristics said: According to NyanType magaizne, the episodes 23 and 24 of Eureka Seven AO was announced to be aired in November. There will be a >1 month hiatus after the airing of the episode 22. From news. So looks like we're waiting a good month + Better than February, I guess. At this point, though, I'm really fearing that we're not getting an S2, seeing how long we'll have to wait for this (much longer than they originally planned). Given that thought, I'm fascinated to see (not in a good way) how they'll tie this up with just three episodes left. I suppose an S2 still isn't impossible, but I'm seeing it as highly unlikely at this point. |

However, I do not even know if I want it to happen. Taking in account what they have already done, it would be better to stop... Or ask Dai Sato to help. |

Pre-episode 15, I actually thought the series was moving in a good direction; I'll regain that to an extent if we learned that this was in fact pacing moving towards the mid-series climax, and not the ending of the series. If you think the series has been failing bombastically entirely throughout, then there's not much I can do to persuade you on that one - I'm in the crowd that actually enjoyed it to a great extent at one point, but as of late, the show's been failing to live up to its (vast) potential (under a certain assumption). Since the beginning, I was of the opinion, that in order for it to be a TRUE sequel that could do the original justice, it should begin to connect itself to PoP at least around the halfway point in major ways, which either means a revisiting of settings, characters, or both, in order to truly put things into perspective. IF there's an S2, and Ao begins it straight-away in the next season, I'll be satisfied. If not, then it's failed utterly on this front, at least as a sequel. Of course, we've also got a million plot-threads that need to be addressed thoroughly for a satisfying conclusion, which with three episodes, is completely impossible; addressing even half of them would be monumentally difficult. Being the optimist I am, I'm going to assume Bones WASN'T making the entire story up as they went along, and actually paid attention to the numerous plot points and implications they've been sewing into the story -- so unless we get a true 'retcannon' ending (which would make me furious), I must conclude that there's more to it. My thoughts, anyways; I still believe in Bones, but at uncertain times like this, ponder why I do. |

| I was hoping AO would at least do something interesting and shoot her with that gun he keeps flaunting around... just 3 more to go XP |

| Elena episode! 5/5 |

My thoughts, anyways; I still believe in Bones, but at uncertain times like this, ponder why I do. After first 5 episodes I got feeling of "raw material" which, I hoped, will become a solid storyline, and I really hoped to tell after episode 15 -"Wow I was not expecting that, but it is great!" Dream on... However those who watch this show without watching the original like it. |
| really I wouldn't mind a season 2 at all. I mean there's probably never going to be another sequel or anything to this series, why not let them add another twenty something episodes and make it really really good, totally to another level. I wouldn't care, even though the show isn't the best right now, when I watch I still feel excited and totally absorbed in the episode. that's my two credits |
| Another mediocre episode... I don't think this show will be able to redeem itself in the next 3 episodes. Really a shame considering how great the prequel was. |
 |
| oh the subs. "normalfag" I died laughing at that part. All I could think of was TV-flavor Shinji Ikari. Elena's been talking about tropes the entire time, but I just wasn't expecting that one. |
 |
| I love Eureka Seven, but Astral Ocean... I'm almost dropping it! "Non-sense" story, everything just "released" against us, boring characters etc. Right now, all I can give to that series is a 6. |
 |
| Elena needs to be brightslapped. |
 |
| Lol, Elena got friendzoned. |
 |
| Well the Secrets consciously being on your side is something, isn't it? XD Naru's making her own army now. I oppose her side though, I like my planet just the way it is, thank you very much. Down with the coral! XP I snickered at drunk Nakamura, I think it was an act though even when he sobered up a little. Elena's got the delusion she's from post-Eureka Seven world because she saw the moon in there when Eureka saved her, timeline displacement disorder? x_X Shout to her some stock and cliche anime lines and she's OK, since she is such an otaku at heart. LOL And then Truth showed up... o_O |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Silly Elena your not from that silly planet with the heart shaped moon smh...kids these days always dreaming. I would not want to be in a planet with two people names on it so every time I freakin look at it I'm reminded of two peoples bond they freaking ruined that moon...trust me Elena you don't want to be there they don't even know the freaking ocean has salt there. Anyways it was hilarious when Elena thought Ao was confessing then he starts saying he wants to be with everyone else to lmao damn this dude turned Elena down for some Elf chick who likes sleeping with coral -_- don't know who's crazier Ao or Naru Ao for still liking her ( I think) Naru for just totaling thinking she understands everything |
| /puke gayest shit ever.... |
 |
| The amount of nutjobs in this anime is too dam high. |
 |
| Can't be Eureka Seven's sequel unless it has that same level of annoying teen angst. |
| Elena going ballistic. Aoi almost pulled an Ao x Elen ending couple there. lol |
| Hoho great development especially that ending! Let's see what's next! |
 |
| Sitting alone in the mess hall until Maggie arrives...Elena really wants to be the special one. What she thought she knew about herself is completely shattered when the intangible time-hopping Eureka tells her the truth of her past. Ellen Brooks was born before the 80s and got caught up in the scub burst in 1981. Eureka saved her by dropping her off at a later point in time (where she grew up to be around Ao's age) but Ellen misremembered the details because she saw glimpses of Eureka's world while travelling. She took the name of the dead girl at the orphanage, Elena Peoples, and when Allied Forces double agent Miller infiltrated Generation Bleu, Elena killed her took her identity. Elena's not the special person she thinks she is and is in denial about her origins until Ao gets her back to her senses. So this rules out the possibility of Elena being Ao's older sister... |

| Unredeemable MC. AO just wasted his opportunity to get a girl... RIP Elena. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
